O presente trabalho reúne os resultados de um levantamento quirópteros conduzido na Reserva Biológica (REBIO) do Tinguá, Nova Iguaçu, estado Rio Janeiro, sudeste Brasil. Foram realizadas 31 noites coletas, em 14 sítios situados altitudes 65 a 1270 m. As coletas foram com redes "mist-nets", armadas ao nível solo, trilhas ou clareiras, frente plantas floração frutificação, próximo construções e cavidades naturais, sobre riachos corpos d'água perto desses. Um total 655 indivíduos foi capturado....

We describe Lonchophyllainexpectata sp. n. from the Caatinga of Brazil. This new species can be distinguished all known Lonchophylla that occur in Brazil by dental traits, cranial size, and fur colour. Specimens have been misidentified as Lonchophyllamordax; but is a pale-venter species, similar external appearance to Lonchophylladekeyseri. found North-eastern Brazil; Lonchophyllamordax along eastern border Atlantic Forest-Caatinga ecotone Lonchophylladekeyseri Cerrado Mid-western Brazil,...

We examined Brazilian species of the nectar-feeding bats genus Lonchophylla (Phyllostomidae, Lonchophyllinae) to clarify identity bokermanni and determine distribution this other in eastern Brazil. As a result, we have found sufficient differences between Cerrado populations (including type locality L. bokermanni) inhabiting Atlantic Forest southeastern Brazil,which warrant treatment as separate new species. describe here peracchii, sp. nov. The appears be restricted Forest, whereas is only habitats.

The effect of elevational gradients on the richness and composition communities are reflected by different biotas. objective this study was to document changes in species bats along a tropical gradient between 500 2,500 m elevation southeastern Brazil. We carried out fieldwork from June 2009 December 2012 with use mist nets. During 32 sampling nights we recorded 270 22 species. Species peaked around low-elevation (500–1,000 a.s.l.) there decrease at higher elevations. analysis bat assemblage...

Eptesicus brasiliensis (Desmarest, 18 I 9); Myo/is nigricans (Schinz, 182 I) and Molossus !1/%ssus (Palas, 1766).One externaI (forearm length) 13 cranial meansurements were studied for 23 species.The of male F emale specimens treated separately.Comme'nts about some taxonomic respects species are also included.

Migration is defined as a seasonal and cyclic population movement observed in all animal classes studied mainly vertebrates. A considerable part of the knowledge on migration comes from birds, for which an important aspect their biology. In case bats, females usually migrate larger distances than males some species. The present study analyzes occurrence Pygoderma bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843) at different elevations, order to test pattern that evidences migration, using data states Espírito...

We studied infestation rates and parasite-host associations between streblid flies phyllostomid bats in an Atlantic Forest area of Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil. captured 301 individuals from seven Phyllostomidae bat species. Out that total, 69 had been parasitised by nine Streblidae species; the most frequent species were Trichobius joblingi tiptoni. The Paraeuctenodes longipes, associated with Anoura geoffroyi, was highest mean intensity observed for A. Paratrichobius longicrus...

Reproductive rates in bats are higher when there is a greater availability of food, and temperatures rainfall higher. Along elevational gradients, variation these factors occurs over small area, making them ideal natural laboratories for studies that aim to describe reproductive patterns identify possible vertical migrations reproduction. We characterized the seasonal female male Artibeus spp., Carollia perspicillata, Sturnira lilium Brazilian Atlantic Forest. sampled with mist nets at 13...

Bats are known as potential carriers of different pathogens; these animals have been identified worldwide an important reservoir species Leptospira. Therefore, there has increasing interest in studying leptospirosis neotropical bats the Amazon. This region is a fertile ground for zoonotic diseases, given intense process deforestation, urbanization, opening new agricultural frontiers, predatory hunting, effects climate change, and loss biodiversity. Based on this, aim present study was to...

In the present study, we report first record of Peropteryx pallidoptera for Brazil, based on a female captured in municipality Curuá, northern margin Amazonas River, state Pará, Guiana Shield. The studied specimen has all diagnostic characters that distinguish P. from other species genus; its measurements are within range reported females collected Peru, and similar to holotype. Our increases number bat known Brazil extends geographic distribution this over 2300 km east type locality Ecuador.

Abstract Patterns of bat distribution in Cerrado can be influenced by habitat heterogeneity and seasonal variation. We described the fauna landscape during an environment-monitoring program Tocantins State, Northern Brazil. Additionally, we tested influence seasonality on abundance species richness Phyllostomidae this region Generalized Linear Mixed Models. In 2010, sampled 40 nights (rainy dry seasons) four vegetation types biome. Taxonomic identification was based measurements qualitative...

Abstract Here we report the first records of vespertilionid bat Histiotus montanus in southeastern Brazil. A male was found sheltering under a rock and collected by hand Serra do Papagaio State Park, Aiuruoca municipality, state Minas Gerais. The taxonomic aspects this species are discussed, measurements sample provided.

Abstract: The Serra da Bocaina National Park (SBNP) is a large remnant of Atlantic Forest located within an endangered biodiversity hotspot, which contributes to the connectivity among protected areas in region. Despite ecological importance SBNP, its bat fauna poorly-known, and no comprehensive inventory available. present study provides updated list species found SBNP. four-year was based on capture-mark-recapture approach at four sites park, municipality Paraty, Rio de Janeiro state,...

Three female specimens of Peropteryx leucoptera were collected in the Refúgio da Vida Silvestre Mata do Junco, a fragment Atlantic Forest located state Sergipe, northeastern Brazil. These represent first record species for increasing to 44 number bat recorded this state. A summary locality records P. indicates disjunct distributional pattern species, with majority concentrated northern South America and separate population

Faunal inventories provide quantitative and qualitative data for different sites are relevant sources of information identifying areas high species richness endemism. Biological collections important in this context increasing the precision identification. The objectives study were to update list bat Ilha Grande by analyzing specimens zoological as well records obtained where no such studies had been undertaken before; compare five conducted on using mist net sampling; results with sampling...
